Abstract

Social changes involving urbanization and globalization pose major challenges to sustainability policy in many countries. These developments create tensions between economic growth and environmental conservation. Rapid urbanization raises new issues in natural resource management and increases social inequality, while globalization offers opportunities for international cooperation but also exacerbates disparities between countries. For this reason, it is important for sustainability policies to accommodate social change with social justice principles, including wise natural resource management and sustainability infrastructure strengthening. Achieving equitable sustainability requires policy that can address social, economic and environmental issues with an inclusive approach. Collaboration between various sectors, as well as society's participation in every stage of policy planning and implementation, is necessary to ensure that policy is relevant and acceptable to local societies. Only by taking into account the evolving dynamics of social change can sustainability policy create effective and sustainable solutions, providing tangible benefits to society at large and ensuring social justice for all groups.
